When the boot of your Jaguar XJ is stuck due to a lock malfunction or because you left the keys inside the vehicle, you can access the boot in emergency mode. To open the boot, remove the screws from the number plate using a screwdriver.

Once the number plate is removed, insert a long screwdriver into the central hole behind the plate to manipulate the lock and open the boot. After retrieving your belongings, close the boot and reattach the number plate.
